Heparin is a polymer classified as a mucopolysaccharide or a glycosoaminoglycan. It is biosynthesized and stored in mast cells of various mammalian tissues, particularly liver, lung and mucosa. It is made up of repeated disaccharide units consisting of 1,4-linked L-iduronic acid and D-glucosamine. The iduronic acid residues are O-sulfated at position 2, and the glucosamine residues are N-sulfated and O-sulfated at position 6. The repeated block can be interrupted or extended by residues of beta-D-glucuronic acid and 6-O-sulfated N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosamine.
